Cegal’s vision is to play a major role in the green shift by being the leading tech company in the energy sector. Cegal delivers technology supporting the transition towards renewable energy and reducing carbon emissions. We also eat our own dog food. Read about how we support sustainability goals, gain performance, and save costs on our IT spend.

With our goal to become the world's leading technology company for the whole energy industry, IT and technology are, of course, at the core of our business and operations. Being aware that energy consumption in data centers is extensive and the heavy climate and nature footprint IT hardware can create, we put a lot of effort into finding the best sustainable IT infrastructure solutions to support our business.

We have chosen Dell Technology Rotation to create sustainable IT while enhancing the business value it delivers. As Cegal’s outcomes demonstrate, Dell Technology Rotation allows organizations to prioritize both performance and sustainability.

Lars Bjørnar Jøssang, Procurement Manager at Cegal, says: “It was a differentiator for us that Dell Technologies had a program that allowed us to return equipment for refurbishment when it’s no longer in use. This way, we know that we’ve reduced waste and that components are reused.”

How Cegal work with sustainability

The Dell deal is one step on our way to a more sustainable future. Our sustainability strategy and how we work with these topics are organized into three pillars, each corresponding with one of the letters in the acronym ESG.

Environment – We contribute to a better environment. Taking care of the environment is an issue we don't only care about but contribute to.
Social - We take social responsibility. We aim to build a legendary company our employees love to work for and our customers love to work with.
Governance - We are a responsible player. We must take responsibility beyond ourselves to contribute to the global sustainability agenda.

These pillars are guideposts when we decide where to put our efforts to make a difference, and we have KPIs (Key performance indicators) that let us know if we are on the right path. We have defined focus areas within these pillars to define where we have decided to put our efforts for this year.

A sustainable IT life

Regarding technology and e-waste, recycling electrical and electronic equipment is critical for us to live up to our sustainability goals and high standards. At Cegal, we provide IT and consulting services to global and regional oil and gas companies. We are helping the energy sector migrate from fossil fuels to green and renewable sources, and at the same time, helping oil and gas companies utilize the best technology for an environmentally friendly production as possible.

Cegal’s deployment of Dell Technology Rotation contributes to the circular economy, minimizes e-waste, and ensures state-of-the-art technology. That’s because Dell Technology Rotation enables Cegal to rotate storage and data protection platforms every four years, providing cutting-edge storage and security for mission-critical customer data. These continuous technology refreshes help Cegal support its high-stakes energy customers with four-hour mission-critical support on all its Dell PowerScale units and near 100% uptime.

At the end of the four years, Dell Technologies refurbishes, cleanses, and remarkets up to 95% of the assets, giving them a second life. Dell recycles the remaining five percent in adherence with local regulatory guidelines.
